Overview
Dark Lord Day 2005 was held on Friday, April 29th. This was the second bottled release of Dark Lord, and the first year the release was celebrated as an event. As such, it could be considered to be the first true Dark Lord Day. The entire fest fit inside of the brewery taproom (This was before the brewpub was built).
It sounds as if some 2005 Dark Lord hit distribution. As there are reports of people buying it at Binny's as well as other liquor stores in the Chicago area. Some discussion here
